This paper describes a software package that is designed to simulate experiments to study photonucleon reactions by measuring residual activity. Calculations of the cross sections and yields of photonucleon reactions, the number of photonucleon reactions product-nuclei and their decay products, the spectrum of gamma rays produced in the irradiated sample, and the spectrum that is measured by the detector are described in detail. A comparison of the simulation results with the results of experiments is given.
